Description
In the first part of this video, I visit one of the oldest Chinese BBQ Markets in Vancouver's Chinatown. It's located at 595 Gore Ave., on the corner of Gore Ave. and Keefer Street. They have been in operation for over 30 years, under various owners. Their roast Chinese meats, such as roast duck, Chinese roast pork and Chinese BBQ pork retains the old style, traditional Chinese flavours. You can order delicious combo meat platters on rice. You can also order different Chinese BBQ meats by weight. Either Chinese BBQ here is consistently delicious. This old time Chinese BBQ Market is also a meat market selling variety of uncooked meats. It is located on the Chinatown Parade Route. This year's Chinatown Parade is on February 22, 2026;
In the second part of this video, I do my easy recipe for delicious Chinese Roast Chicken 中式烤鸡食谱. This recipe is made with salted lemons. The salted lemons really gives a delicious taste to the chicken. I use Vietnamese lemons but you can use regular lemons if you like.

CHINESE ROAST LEMON CHICKEN
This recipe is still delicious without the salted lemons. This recipe made with a free range chicken but a regular chicken can also be used.
1 free range chicken (or regular chicken)
6 tbsp. cooking oil
1 to 2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 to 2 tsp. 5 spice powder
3 tablespoons chopped ginger
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 star anise
1 stalk green onion
3 to 4 Vietnamese salted lemons salted
Put the chicken on a tray.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients in the cooking oil, except the salted lemons. Put 2/3 of the mixture into the cavity of the
chicken. Rub the remaining 1/3 of the mixture over the outside of the chicken.
Slice the salted lemons and squeeze all over the outside of the chicken. If you don't have salted lemons, just squeeze the juice of 1/2 a regular lemon over the outside of the chicken.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Total cooking time is about 50 minutes. Cook the chicken for 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Turn the chicken tray around for more even cooking. Finish cooking the chicken for 25 minutes at 325 degrees. For a larger chicken, cooking time is longer.
Optional: If you want to put some honey to sweeten the taste against the lemon, just mix 3 tablespoons of honey with 1 tablespoon water in a bowl. Spread the honey water on the chicken in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
